Hulu hitting the Nintendo Switch today

More than eight months after launch, the NintendoSwitch is finally getting a bit of functionality that both of its predecessors had and both of its immediate competitors have had since launching in 2013. Of course, if you have a subscription to the service, all you have to do is log into the app with your credentials and you'll have the same access as you would on other devices.

In their latest "Nintendo Download" PR email blast, the company confirmed that Hulu will be coming soon to the eShop on Nintendo Switch. There is even a Hulu Plus app available for the Nintendo 3DS and the Wii U, so implementing it on the Switch seems like a natural move.

Hulu ends up beating its rival Netflix to the platform which may help boost some Hulu sales from those who are dying for a streaming service on the new console. "You'll be able to enjoy both our traditional on-demand subscription as well as our Hulu with Live TV plan and watch live and on-demand programming from more than 50 of the top news, sports and entertainment channels including all five of the major USA broadcast networks, ESPN, Fox Sports, CNN, FX, Bravo, TNT, A&E and more".

Unfortunately, Hulu never truly made an appearance outside of the States, paving way for other video-streaming applications such as Netflix, Amazon Prime and in the UK, NOW TV to gain a foothold. Instead, they preferred to focus on the console's video game offerings.

When Nintendo provided information for eShop updates for the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Switch on November 9, 2017, an important milestone was announced.
